There Will Be Maps
Because the Geographer in me has more energy right now than the Photo Manipulator, here are some maps. Photos (and complete sentences) later.
Overview:
Jan 2-3: SFO --> ORD (Chicago) --> GRU (São Paulo) --> CGH (São Paulo's regional airport. This extraneous and harrowing sight-seeing adventure through São Paulo was made necessary thanks to flight delay in Chicago, which caused us to miss the next flight. Though he miraculously never hit any other vehicles or pedestrians, the shuttle driver did run a car off the road.) --> GIG (Rio de Janeiro).
Jan 9: SDU (Rio's regional airport) --> SSA (Salvador da Bahia)
Jan 13: not sure where we went exactly, but the bus driver promised he would get us to a convenient location part of the way from Salvador to Praia do Forte (at least that was what we could gather given improving-though-still-poor Portuguese language skills), and that he did. A jam-packed kombi got us the rest of the way there.
Jan 16-17: Praia do Forte --> Salvador --> Rio --> São Paulo --> Chicago --> Home, ~26.5 hours door-to-door.
Now: sleep.
